  • Trying to re-activate my iphone 5 and it wont work

    i just setup ios7 on my iphone 5 and the keyboard wasn't working and i tried everything so i had to restore the phone. Now i'm not able to re activate it because it says it can't connect to the activation servers, i have tried resetting the phone and everything. what is my solution?

    Endless countless millions of people are trying to authenticate AFTER downloading the new IOS.
    Download servers and Authentication / Activation servers are slammed right now.
    Give it some time.   
    download servers VS. authentication servers
    You can wait till later and Activate your Iphone (or Ipad also) without any worries

    how can i activate my iphone 3gs. I instaled new version of ios 6.1.1. But i don't know the phone was oficcialy unlock or not oficcialy

    1. You could not have installed iOS 6.1.1, it is 6.1.2
    2. It will get activated - if unlocked, with any SIM else you need SIM; active or inactive from the Carrier.

  • HT1688 My IMEI is unlocked but I can't activate my iPhone 3GS 011950006982337

    My IMEI is unlocked but I can't activate my iPhone 3GS 011950006982337

    ONLY the carrier the phone is locked to can legitimately authorize unlocking an iPhone.
    Your phone was hacked. Not legitimately unlocked.
    You can not get help here.
    Try google or buy a new, legitimately unlocked iPhone that you can use.

    Try popping out the SIM card and turn off the phone.
    Pop in the SIM card once again and turn on the phone, make sure that the SIM card is placed and seated perfectly in the tray!
    Tell me how did you unlock your phone!?

  • HT201407 i cannot activate my iphone 3Gs i tried many times using wifi and connect. to itunes but activtion is always failed

    Hi, i cannot activate my iphone 3Gs i tried many times using wifi and connect. to itunes but activtion is always failed. can you help me to fix this problem?

    Do you have a SIM in the phone?
    A SIM is required to activate it.
    If you DO have a SIM in it, the most common cause of this problem is a phone that was hacked to illegally unlock it and has been updated or restored.

    Not a good sign. Try forcing the phone into recovery mode & restoring it. If this fails, make an appointment at an Apple store:
    Turn your phone off. Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
